The Principles of Housing

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Principles of Housing is an engaging and discursive introduction to the key topics within housing studies. Whereas many books get bogged down in country specific detail, this book argues that the fundamental concepts of what we call housing are relatively stable and unchanging. Each short chapter is designed to be a starting point for a wider conversation, with discussion questions and international case studies helping students to think about how general principles would apply to their own surroundings. Principles of Housing succeeds in being accessible and engaging without shying away from the complexities of housing issues. It will be invaluable to students on housing related courses.
